Help me through 4 rounds of treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer

Supporting Bello through stage 3 ovarian cancer: medication, transport to Kano Cancer Centre, and living costs while He can't work.

In July I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. My oncology team at Kano Cancer Centre has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 5 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 55, I worked as a tailor until July, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Kano Cancer Centre 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes. Where the $900 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $430 • Scans and lab work: $120 • Transport to Kano Cancer Centre: $140 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $75 • Household costs while unable to work: $135 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
